What is the climax of the novel The Alchemist by Coelho?

As Santiago
is digging for treasure, a pack of
thieves finds him and proceeds to beat him and rob him. They
force him to
continue digging in search of the treasure, but when none is found, all of
the
thieves leave. Before they leave, however, one thief tells Santiago an
important secret that is
a clue to where the treasure really is.


The story ends as Santiago discovers
that the treasure is located
right where the adventure began, at the ruined church in Spain. He
digs under
the tree where he had the prophetic dream and finally discovers a chest full
of
treasures, gold and gemstones.

In the final climactic
scene of the book, the
wind begins to blow and Santiago smells the familiar
scent of his lover, Fatima, and feels her
kiss. He is taken up by the wind
and tells Fatima he is coming.
